Get ready to wake up to the most delicious bowl of apple pie overnight oats, which includes oats soaked in milk, apple sauce, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon. 

Overnight Apple Pie Oats

The beautiful oats in my apple cinnamon overnight oats are creamy, flavorful, filling, and comforting. Even more, they’re made in one of the easiest ways possible – by sticking them in your fridge and going to sleep! Doesn’t get better than that.

I love the texture of overnight oats, as the oats get plumped up just right. You can eat them cold or heat them up to have warm if that is your preference. These have an amazing depth of flavor and unlike flavored instant oats that you buy, you actually know where all of the flavors are coming from.

So, what flavors can you expect? Well, the oats are soaked overnight in milk, maple syrup or honey, unsweetened apple sauce, and ground cinnamon for that quintessential apple pie flavor. Then in the morning, you top your apple pie overnight oats with whatever toppings you like. Today I went with fresh apple, a little bit more cinnamon, and some chopped walnuts. But I’ve included more suggestions below.

Who’s ready to make some apple pie oatmeal?

In the morning, your oats will be plump, thick, and ready to eat!

I like to top them with diced apple (tossed in cinnamon to make cinnamon apple) and pecans or you can eat them as is. They are great cold or heated up like traditional oatmeal (which is how I eat it).

I hope you get to enjoy this wonderful apple pie overnight oats recipe!

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container or mason jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. Meal prep your apple overnight oats on Sunday and you have breakfast sorted for the week!

Recipe Notes

  • You can use any type of milk, including 2%, skim milk, or even unsweetened almond milk.
  • If you’re in a rush and won’t be making “overnight oats”, the oats only technically need about 2 hours to soak.
  • For more apple pie flavor, substitute the ground cinnamon for apple pie spice.
  • Other great toppings for this overnight oat recipe include a dollop of peanut butter or nut butter, chia seeds, granola, chocolate chips or cacao nibs, dried fruit like raisins or cranberries, sunflower seeds, or hemp seeds.
  • For more sweetness, add 1/2 a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • If you want actual apple in your apple pie overnight oats, some recipes actually add 1 cup of shredded apple (the equivalent of 1 medium apple) to the overnight oats before placing them in the fridge.
  • To make vegan apple pie overnight oats, simply use your favorite dairy-free milk and maple syrup instead of honey.

  1. Hey Christy!

    Did you know you can make your own apple molasses?
    It would be perfect for this recipe!
    I buy three cans of frozen apple juice concentrate, and heat it on the stove in a heavy sauce pan, simmering until it has reduced by 1/2 to 2/3. I store it in a canning jar in the fridge until I need some.
    Thick as molasses or honey, plumb FULL of apple flavor and sweetness~
    You can buy boiled apple cider online but Ooooooo, it’s expensive.
    Also good in pies and apple dapple cake- I add a Tablespoon and pump up the appley-ness of any recipe.

    1. I’m so trying this!!
      Having a why didn’t I think of this moment!

      Wonder if you could freeze in cubes then. Add to water for flavored water?!?

      Yummmmm…. thinking of all the concentrated juice possibilities!!

  2. Just curious if fancy hotel rooms in NYC have little refrigerators and microwaves in them. Do you travel with utensils like I do?

    1. hey Jenny! I try not to travel anymore but back when I did, after this incident, I started bringing a little “kit” with me that had a plastic fork, spoon, knife, some little Irish Breakfast tea bags, a packet or two of creamer, a few packs of sweetener, a package of hot chocolate, and some oats, lol. It saved me a LOT of money over the years. This hotel didn’t have any appliances in it whatsoever, not even a little coffee maker.
